The relationships among students' perceptions of computerized science learning environments, computer-related attitudes. and computer experiences were investigated with a sample of 164 9thgraders (80 boys and 84 girls) from two middle schools. The Computerized Science Learning Environment Inventory (CSLEI) and the Computer-Related Attitudes Scale (CRAS) were administered, and students' computer experiences were examined. Students' perceptions of preferred learning environments were also studied with the preferred form of the CSLEI, and compared with those of actual learning environments. Gender differences in the perceptions of computerized science learning environments, computer-related attitudes, and computer experiences were also studied. Students' perceptions of preferred learning environments were significantly better than those of actual learning environments in all subscales of the CSLEI except gender equity. There was no gender difference in the perceptions of computerized science learning environments. However, boys were found to have more positive computer-related attitudes and more computer experiences than girls. Students' perceptions of computerized science learning environments were significantly correlated with computer-related attitudes in resource adequacy subscale, but not with computer experiences. Significant relationships between computer-related attitudes and computer experiences were also found.
